Had my VX windshield replaced years ago. Broken due to road construction debris on a highway. Insurance covered 100%. Sent Safelite out, cost $870. Again, not a penny from me. Pretty outrageous!

I had my windshield replaced earlier this year. Less than $250 out the door.

Disregard. That was my old WRX. Getting old.... losing track of what I had done and on what.

The VX has skid plates, as stated above, 3 of them.

If those are missing, personally, I would want to know WHY. That would indicate either underbelly hits that caused the skid plates some ugly damage, so they were removed, or underbody work on the engine or trans, and the skid plates were never replaced, or maybe someone took them off for some other reason. Either way, that's a little questionable. That said, you should be able to source some from car-part.com I would think, or have some fabbed.

I thought it was odd too. Especially since it was so clean with regard to rust on the underbelly - still has the front bumper bar (no rust there either). (Interior was well taken care of too) It's an odd little truck really, the broken window makes me wonder if it was ruffed up but yet otherwise it seems loved and cared for and clean. A few spots were obviously touched up paint wise but cladding is all there all nice and so are the cladding screws. Funny.

Not to contradict Bart (nfp), but from what I remember the VX did NOT come with underbelly skid plates other than the dinky little one that Marlin talked about. The Troopers DID come with three skid plates on them that perfectly fit under the VX (holes are already drilled in the frame and cross members). Many of us have gone to a pick-n-pull yard to get the Trooper skid plates (like Marlin said). I can't remember what year Troopers so hopefully someone will chime in on that.
